A Killing Spree (3)
Originally, with Li Yue's strength, although she could kill these people, she would inevitably get hurt herself. This was unavoidable, and Li Yue had long been used to it.
Li Yue had experienced something similar during her time in the military. Once, she was almost seriously injured and died, but she was very resilient and survived.
If you were to ask whether Li Yue would have many scars, you would be mistaken. After all, Li Yue is a girl, so she carries extremely high-grade wound medicine that will not leave any scars.
Otherwise, her body would be covered in scars!
Now, Li Yue had expected herself to get hurt, but to her surprise, she was completely unharmed. She realized that this was not due to luck, but because Ye Lang was protecting her.
Whenever someone tries to harm her, an arrow appears and kills that person...
Some people noticed Ye Lang's situation and tried to surround and kill Ye Lang, but Ye Lang was still able to handle it with ease. While defeating those who surrounded and killed him, he was also able to help Li Yue out of trouble.
Ye Lang was still riding the lion, and because of this, some people attributed his agility to the lion. However, if Ye Lang were to ride on his own, he might be even more agile, but he would be slightly distracted.
In an attempt to stop Ye Lang, some people had already set their sights on the lion, but they soon discovered that this lion was no ordinary troublemaker. Not only was its hide thick, but it was also incredibly strong and fast, making it easy for it to kill several people.
This was proven true; the lion killed several people who wanted to harm it, either with its claws or its teeth, but it did not eat any of them.
This was a lesson Ye Lang taught it, forbidding it from eating any human flesh and instilling in it a habit of only eating the flesh of other wild animals. However, under normal circumstances, lions prefer cooked meat, as cooked meat is much more fragrant.
Soon, Hawk discovered that the hundreds of elites he had brought were falling one by one. These two people were too terrifying, especially the seemingly harmless boy.
At this point, Ye Lang's tenacity had completely surpassed Li Yue's, making him the key to victory!
To flee or not to flee? If this continues, we'll all be wiped out soon.
Hawk hesitated, but the longer he hesitated, the more people Ye Lang and his companion would kill...
Sigh, no need to think about it anymore!
Hawk would soon no longer need to consider it, because Ye Lang and the other person had already made the decision for him. Only a few people remained, and there was no escape...
"Who are you people?" Hawk asked at the end.
"We were just passersby! This wouldn't have happened otherwise. It just goes to show that your Greedy Wolf Legion deeds!" Li Yue said calmly, then killed Hawk with a single sword strike.
A high-level Earth Grade cultivator with extremely rich combat experience—just who is this Little Devil Girl, and what about that boy...?
Hawk never found out about this; he didn't even know who killed him!
After the battle was over, Ye Lang and his companion cleaned up the battlefield and put away all their weapons. This was what Ye Lang wanted; he needed some metal to make something.
Finally, they simply left. The two of them couldn't clean up the place properly, so they decided not to bother cleaning it. If someone found out, so be it; by then, they would have already left the area and the territory of the Greedy Wolf Legion.
However, to Ye Lang and his companion's surprise, things took an unexpected turn, escalating rapidly until they were forced to confront the entire Ye Lang Greedy Wolf Legion!
"Little Devil Girl, you are surrounded! Drop your weapons and stop your futile resistance!!"
A resounding roar echoed between heaven and earth...
This is in a desolate wilderness, a place where there are not many people to begin with, but now there are thousands of troops. Of course, that's a slight exaggeration, but there are indeed quite a few people, about five or six thousand.
All of these people were soldiers, and they were all highly trained elite soldiers. They were a rare elite force on the mainland. Only major powers, including the three empires, possessed such elite forces.
Among the three empires, such elite troops are top-tier forces, and they wouldn't appear for trivial matters. The presence of five or six thousand of them indicates that something significant has happened.
Yes, this is indeed a big deal, at least that's what the elite troops think!
This is in the northern part of Osk City, which is a northern city of the Xiangkong Empire. Specifically, it is located in the western middle of the northern region of the Xiangkong Empire's Great Plains, making it a relatively central location.
The army stationed here is naturally the Fifth Legion of the Xiangkong Empire, the Greedy Wolf Legion, a unit designated as Gray Wolf. Osk City not only has abundant resources but also relatively complex terrain, so the Gray Wolf Unit is naturally an elite force.
The appearance of the Gray Wolf Unit here is unexpected; they usually don't deploy, at least not on such a large scale.
Just as the Gray Wolf Unit was being deployed, the people of Osk City felt something was amiss, wondering what major event had occurred. Was there a rebellion in the vicinity? Or had the Empire finally sent troops to govern the area?
The people of Osk City were somewhat excited because they couldn't stand the Greedy Wolf Legion's rampant tyranny and exploitation of the people. These things were commonplace for the Greedy Wolf Legion.
This phenomenon is not limited to Osk City; it is a common occurrence throughout the entire northern region of the Soaring Sky Empire, in areas controlled by the Greedy Wolf Legion.
This trend has emerged in the last ten years or so. Previously, the Greedy Wolf Legion was a disciplined force; otherwise, it would not have been able to become the fifth legion of the Xiangkong Empire.
It is said that more than a decade ago, due to the death of the former Legion Commander, the eldest son of the former Legion Commander succeeded him and began to replace a large number of his confidants. Since then, the Greedy Wolf Legion has gradually changed its nature.
The empire has taken note of this, but is struggling to find a solution. The Greedy Wolf Legion's influence in the north is deeply entrenched, and any attempt to suppress it would inevitably lead to unrest.
The empire can only wait until the foundation of the Greedy Wolf Legion begins to crumble; that will be the time to rectify the situation.
Although the people have begun to stop supporting the Greedy Wolf Legion power is still very strong. If this cancer is to be eradicated, it will still cause unrest, which is something the Xiangkong Empire does not want to see.
At the same time, Zhao Yarou doesn't have time to deal with this right now. She has only just consolidated her power and won't touch the northern region in the short term, unless some unexpected opportunity arises.
However, the chances of this happening are very low, so the Greedy Wolf Legion can still be their local tyrants and continue to wreak havoc in the north of the Xiangkong Empire.
